Currently…

So, yes – it’s finals. I’m busy writing papers and don’t necessarily have time to get knee-deep in a blog post right now. C would laugh and say, “Oh, but you have time for Facebook and playing Angry Birds on your phone?” to which I would respond, “Yes, okay. Those are my coping mechanisms.”

…and now I’m talking to myself.

Clearly, I’m going crazy. But here’s what else I’m doing:

Drinking coffee, obviously. I’m a crazy graduate student who is furiously editing group papers, writing final assignments, and completing final projects. I take my coffee like my mom does, tons of cream and a dash of sugar. It’s a nasty habit, but at least I can always tell which cup of coffee is mine!

Listening to The Skimm’s Ultimate Chrismukkah Party on Songza. If you don’t know of The Skimm, you definitely should. They send out a newsletter daily compiling that day’s headlines into bite-sized and easily digestible nuggets. I’ve only been on the list for about two weeks now, but I’m totally digging it. I never have time to truly catch up on the news, but now at least I feel a little bit informed after inserting The Skimm into my morning routine. Anyway, they put out playlists every once in a while, and as Holiday playlists go, this one isn’t bad. And I just heard Neil Diamond sing The Hanukkah song, so…there’s that.

Wearing DePauw Track and Field half-zip, jeans, clogs. Today is my lazy day, okay? No class, no errands to run – just work. I’m bored already.

Thinking that it’s about time we got some snow. It’s really hard for me to get into the holiday spirit without it, so -come on Mother Nature!

Craving turkey wrap on wheat with lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and cranberry mayo from the Hub at DePauw. I miss that cranberry mayo.
